  • Hello- I have a new emerald zoysia turf lawn (2 weeks old) in San Antonio, and i'm regretting not using a pre-emergent, because crabgrass sprouts are coming up in many areas where particular sections of turf are taking a while to integrate and grow. Is it risky to use the 20% vinegar because the lawn isn't fully established? Also, I read that late spring / early summer is a good time to fertilize, and I'd like to know if it's a good idea for my situation, even though the lawn is young. Thanks!

    Fertilizer

    With organics you can not go wrong with fertilization. Our fertilizers are slow release and non burning so you will not have to worry about burning the grass. I would keep away from the vinegar and just hand pull the crabgrass. Another thing you can do is water the grass with Medina's Hasta Gro 12-4-8 or Soil Activator. But if I were you I would get fertilizer down as soon as possible.
